Because the Earth’s axis is straight and the Earth’s orbit is elliptical Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are the same to the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere.
Because the Earth’s axis is straight and the Earth’s orbit is circular Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are opposite to the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere.
